In the case of the LLB, Academic direction is provided by six University of London Colleges – Birkbeck; King College London, the London School of Economics and Political Science, Queen Mary, the School of Oriental and African Studies, and UCL (University College London). Academics at these Colleges develop the syllabuses, prepare the study materials, and are responsible for the assessment of International Programmes students. This ensure that the standard of awards made to International Programmes students are maintained at the same level as the standards of awards made to students studying at a College of the University of London.Upon successful completion of their programme of study, students receive a University of London degree.
